Baby Care and Postpartum Adjustment

For many parents, the first baby they hold is their own! While many parents focus on preparing for the birth, it’s important to learn about what to expect once the baby is home as well.

Our baby care and infant CPR classes will give you the information you need to know to keep your baby safe, to effectively calm your baby down, deal with feeding issues and engage you in emotional preparation for the transition of becoming a parent.

These classes are designed to ease your transition into parenthood so that you can feel supported while you figure out your new family balance.
